Background

About Michael Bloomhill

Growing up in Africa, spending my time in the outdoors, it didn't take long for me to make the connection between the job we do and the quality of life we live. I guess that I learned early on in my life that what motivates me is a personal need to succeed professionally and personally in all aspects of my life. A strong family connection means a strong professional attitude for me. After working both as an applications engineer (learning the technical skills needed in my chosen field) and as a Sr. Training Manager with management teams and senior strategic customers (where I learned the technical skills of career development, and where I got a handle on the needs of businesses), I decided to move to sales engineering and found that the best place to do that was in my current Industry.(semiconductors.) Now, as an experience traveler and Sales Engineer, and having more than eight years of strong sales support experience, I have found that my interpersonal relationships with work colleagues and customers is as important as my technical ability, and it is these relationships that help me push my companies goals forward and succeed in performing my tasks. I have supervised and actively run the technology evaluation stage of sales processes; worked closely with R&D engineers, sales teams and strategic clients. I have both experience in understanding the diagnostic needs of a client, support, execution, and implementations of the final product, and experience in balancing between broad business vision and the ability to see the finer details - Macro and Micro. I can assemble seemingly disparate facts into a cohesive, tangible story, for troubleshooting and solving problems, and have seen that I can inspire and engage even the most skeptical of clients. To summarize: “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” Vince Lombardi
